The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[Smirker]

I definitely think Fulham are the main threat

Cardiff have tough fixtures

Derby are falling away

We could do with Fulham having some of the bad luck with injuries we’ve been having, starting with Sessegnon

With luck Sessegnon’s balls will drop and he’ll have a terrible outbreak of acne.

If we go up and Fulham don't we need to sign him.

Unbelievable talent.

Sessegnon is not 18 yet so huge potential and I think he will be captured City or Chelsea to add to their   speculative elite talent pool.

It’s a 4 way shoot out for second
Fulham Cardiff Derby and us.
It’s going to be tight.

NO. Second is between us and Cardiff<FULLSTOP>

Wolves have only won 3 of their last 8 league games, W3 D3 L2. Sadly even that kind of form for the rest of the season will probably be enough for them.

You're right, but least it's making their ring pieces twitch.

[Chris Harte]

If we keep winning, we don't need to look at what anyone else is doing. If we catch Wolves or not. We keep winning we won't have to worry about playoffs and our season objective will have been accomplished.

I thiiiink I am right in saying he has some kind of pre-contract agreement with Spurs... Probably a Danny Rose replacement/competition as Rose hasn't looked very happy there this season. But yes he's fantastic.

Something that probably deserves a thread of its own are the players from teams around us (Derby/Fulham/Cardiff/Bristol etc) that I'd want us to pinch on the way up. Lawrence from Derby and Cairney at Fulham would be two. The latter is probably due a PL move

The ring pieces of wolves...only on H&V.

and Wolves

We've taken a point more than Fulham over the last 10 games and six more than Wolves.

If that points accumulation continues they'd win the league on 96, 3 points ahead of us.

Fulham's excellent run leaves them on 88, but you'd be surprised if there wasn't a 3-4 game blip in there.

Cardiff would finish on 81 points.

I think it's useful to see that Fulham, who have been on a good run beyond those 10 games without a blip, would still need to improve to hit 90 points.

It would suggest perhaps 8 more wins might be overkill.

A fact I saw yesterday sums up how inconsistent and poor this league is. Bristol City have won once since Boxing Day but are still in the play offs!

We need Cardiff to have one bad result, starting today, and hopefully a blip will follow. Next weekend is interesting as we have QPR at home whilst Cardiff have a very tricky game at Brentford and Derby and Fulham play each other.

[AV82EC]

Whilst it would be nice for Wolves to implode,I can’t see it, but it would be great to get a bit closer to see them start twitching. Let’s hope Bristol City get back on track today as well.

Next weekend I think

Villa - Win
Cardiff - Draw
Fulham/Derby - Draw
Wolves - Win

[QuintonVilla]

Cardiff never play well but keep grinding out wins. They don't look like faltering.

I don’t think it’s poor, it’s just competitive. A bit like the old First Division was like years back before the money took over. 

[Meanwood Villa]

Since we went second Cardiff have won four from four. Before that they had stumbled so just got to hope it happens again. We have to win the upcoming games against QPR, Sunderland, Bolton, Hull, Reading. Be great if we can get something off Wolves as well. Lots of potential pitfalls in last six I think so I want us to be in front by then.
